Hoist and well in Tunisia
Note the uppermost ropes and the cords at the bottom. We can see two of the four draught animals. Every pair has a bag. The picture gives us the moment at the end of the sequence. Now, if the pull-stroke were less than four metres the animals would be forced to walk backwards, but here the animals are disengaged from the harness and turned around. Then they walk up the ramp.

På rejser i ørkenområder medbringer man selv sin hejseanordning. Den består af en lædersæk og et tov. Enkelte steder - som her - kan brønden være forsynet med et taljeophæng. Tegningen er en gengivelse af et berømt persisk miniaturemaleri fra 1341. Det findes i Fogg Art Museum i Cambridge, Mass. i USA.
